Shezu Village, the most representative village, lies in Bailukeng, Xiapu, Fujian province, with a long history of more than 400 years and glamourous culture as well. It is not only the birthplace of Gewang for generations, but also the cradleland of Fiction song and "Ah Lu tune". Although they don't have their own characters, the She people still have a special ritual way and some characteristic behaviors like She language & She song, to pass down their culture of belief, which cored on the Panhu belief and ancestor worship. There are also some other characters distinguished them from other nationalities, just like the Six good things in ancestral hall(Genealogy, Incense Burner, the Ancestral Map, Ethnic Crutch, Licensing and Ethnic Couplet), costume, hairstyle, Black Rice Festival on March 3rd(Chinese Luna Calendar), Fiction songs and love songs, which are used to enhance the national cohesion and centripetal force of the She people for generations.However, with the development of society and the influx of modern elements, especially the "Heritage Hot", the most representative village and Pan Ge ritual change singularly. Such as the bringing of fault in inheriting Pan Ge, the intensifying of business consciousness, the emergency of stage performance, the increasing of the official power, and so on. All the changes have brought big effects and impacts on She people's traditional culture, livings and ideas.
